There's something really cool to me about Bruno using Onix.

>barely

To what degree do you think it was an intentional choice to have none of the E4 be monotype (except Agatha, but her monotype isn't the one she advertises specializing in)?
It would've been easy to just give Bruno a Primeape and a Poliwrath.

now post the team of sinnoh’s “fire type” elite four member

>difficulty peaks with the first E4 member
>the last E4 member is the easiest

Open your eyes, you fucking nigger cockslurper. There are clearly three fighting-type Pokemon in Bruno's team, including Machamp as his ace.

it's a game made for children, chill the fuck out.

I wanna remake the Red/Blue Elite Four but with all the new Kanto forms we've gotten. The Kanto-dex has become more type diverse with them. Maybe I'll see if I can dig up old-style sprite work for the new mons.

Because they were already thinking of Pokemon 2 on a conceptual level and were reserving them for the Fighting Type Boss of that conceptual game.

I think they still have pretty shit teams. A theme is fine, but e4 are the best of the best, they shouldn't be monotype like gym leaders.
Pokemon Stadium games gave them the best teams.

Honestly I think the Elite Four have been poorly handled in almost all cases. There is very little buildup to the fight, no real stakes, and no investment.It would be really cool if they were a bit more integrated into the world and story. And you know it would be great if their A.I. was less brain dead too.

I think the real issue isn't that they're monotype, and is that they have shit types to work with.
A normal-type or psychic-type E4 member could've been really good in gen 1.

Genwun could take notes from the best gen and pull a Glacia

Same with DiaPer
Flint's team should had been

Bruno had a way better team in stadium but they're obsessed with giving him an onix for some reason.
More proof that onix should be 510 bst.

I feel like everyone focused on a specific theme first and then the whole "type specialist" thing came after. They only seem weird to us because modern GF can easily pick 6 mons who share a type. Lorelei's whole gimmick is Ice. Even her Slowbro is somewhat relevant since they live in the Seafoam Islands. 3 of her Pokemon were also made early on in development so maybe they got the idea of Ice type from her? Bruno's all about his HOOHAH superior strength in the original games which might explain why he's got 2 big ass rock snakes mixed with Fighting types. He didn't even mention the type directly until FRLG. Agatha could've been just someone who used "spooky" stuff. If you focus on the theme you fight her in a mini graveyard and her team consists of 3 ghosts, a giant bat and a snake. Finally Lance has a Gyarados, Aerodactyl, and later on in GSC a Charizard. They're not the Dragon type but they certainly look draconic. I could just be talking out of my ass but this is kinda fun to think about.

They were saving Poliwrath and Primeape for Chuck.

One thing I noticed about Gen 1/2 teams is that they held back on going all out with them, instead opting to hone in on a specific theme for each character and building the team around a few relevant species that fits that theme. They also probably wanted to avoid overlaps as much as possible, but due to the limited Dexes they had to give each trainer only a few different species of Pokémon. Like how Pryce doesn't have a Jynx because they wanted to give Will one, otherwise Will would've overlapped with Sabrina.

I like the idea of e4 members having teams that aren't monotyped.
Bruno appears to have pokemon that fit under the tcg fighting type umbrella.
